As a person with a disability, I becoming very despondent about trying to find a property in Longford. Ideally, I would like to find a property - a bungalow - which is not out "in the sticks" but close to the town of Longford.

I'm so frustrated at trying to find a place to live that will facilitate my needs as a wheelchair user. I also wonder how much attention is been given to the enforcement of Part M of the Building Regulations Part M, 2002. My experience of dealing with builders/estate agent/builders etc is that not only are they not too bothered about the Regulations. There is an abundance of evidence to suggest that Part M is being ignored and that those of us with disabilities are being marginalised when it comes to finding a place to live.

I'm not looking for a free house, I want to pay for it just as any property buyer would do. Through your BLOG I'm asking any estate agent who knows of a house, bungalow that is 'disability friendly'
